My apologies for a not strictly early retirement question.
I have horrible eyes. Refractive correction of -12 in my better eye plus congenital nystagmus. I'm also 52 and have some presbyopia but haven't been doing anything about it because between adjusting scaling on computers and my lifelong bad habit of reading over my glasses I haven't felt the need. The combination of problems means that I am not a candidate for LASIK. It is possible that I am a candidate for an IOL.
I'd love some feedback on the recovery from such surgery if there is anyone here who has had it. I would almost certainly get single vision set for distance and wear reading glasses for close work as I worry that increasing presbyopia would otherwise be a problem if I chose to get corrected for close work and use glasses for distance. From reading online it is unlikely that I could use an implanted bifocal lens.
